Citrus Curd image

Okay... The traditional curd is lemon, however I had a recipe that called for lime curd and could not find it anywhere in any of our stores. I consulted with my sister and decided that this recipe would work for basically any citrus fruit. I ended up making this recipe 3 times in one night(lemon, lime & orange) to verify that...
